Principals under Pressure : The Growing Crisis

"Principals under Pressure: The Growing Crisis examines the increasing peril for American principals - of becoming victims of growing U.S. accountability policies, of buying in to the hype about their own influence over their schools, and of becoming absolute rulers in a largely democratic educational system. Being a principal is not about taking personal charge as much as it is about assembling and directing an excellent team and providing trusted team members with the resources and opportunities to do their best work. Invisibility, or "leading from behind," is one of the best characteristics of many good principals."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
